We were founded in the autumn of 2002, with the aim of reaching out to all residents and friends of the townships and making them more aware of their historical legacy.
We welcome all persons interested in local history, from those who are experts in niche fields, to those who just like hearing tales about the past. We can usually put any of your other talents, e.g. organizational, technical, secretarial, mechanical and of course, historical, to good use!
Members are encouraged to take part in joint village activities e.g. helping celebrate the Queen’s Jubilees with appropriate historical input.
During this time we have also published two books of essays about the history of the local area and also produced two DVDs about Backford Hall and Park.
You can also find more information on our Facebook page including announcements of future events.
